The first two names George Charles are false.
We have reverted to DNA tests to find our Grandfather. We know he was English most likely from Herefordshire England. He was Born around 1870 thru to 1890. He was of med Build in body size, fair hair.
My DNA is R1b1a2 R-M269 I have banked my DNA and we are looking for a DNA match so if you have Davis DNA can you please contact me on rossco12@bigpond.com.

Thanks for reading my post.

Can you help? www.davisfamilytree.org for more info. Thanks Ross Davis

Where did he come from? before 1904
Where did he go to? after 1920

What was his real name:?
George Charles Davis is the kings first names: so we guess the first two name MAY be an alias

WHAT do we know about him:?

He was White, most likley English , Australian, New Zealander or Welsh.
He was good carpenter and a bridge builder. He worked for the New Zealand Railways in Napier, and lived in the "Railway Station Yards Napier" most likley in a Mobile Railway Carriage that could be connected to a train and moved to the next work site; siding on a new bridge being built.
He was born about 1870 give or take ten years.

Does any one have history of "Railway workers in New Zealand" during the 1900 thru to 1930.
In particular Families that lived in these mobile communities?

cheers Ross Davis

Question: Did George C Davis have any children with Emma Baker?
Where did he go to after he married Emma Baker? to New Zealand?

My Grand parents lived in this area around 1911 thr to 1923 a house at Feilding,No 20 Grey street is of interest to me. It may have been a railway House. As George Charles Davis was a Bridge builder for the NZ Raiways he may have been renting a or allacated a Railway house.

Can anyone tell me if there were records kept of NZ railway employees?

Cheers

Hi.
All of the birth certificates of the 10 children born from the union say,
"Marriage, was at Wellington March 16th in the year 1904"

But I canot find and marriage cert in the Marriages , birth and deaths office at lower Hutt.
The names I am looking for are George Charles Davis & Amy Hanham.
(I have Amys certifiactes birth & death , they show nothing.)

The names of George charles may be an alias so we may need to look for

"George Davies"; Charles Davies; "George Davis"; "George Charles Davies" The one thing that seems to be certian is the Date "16 th of March 1904"
maybe a search for marrriages on that date?
Can that be done?

can anyone suggest another place a marriage certiface may be stored other than the registery office?

thanks Ross Davis
